Rosario Kerns sends me e-mail

I am not exaggerating when I say that I get at least 300 pieces of spam e-mail a day in my regular e-mail account. I have about 50 "rules" to filter most of them out but it's still a chore to scan them to make sure nothing important got tossed out with the junk.

A lot of the spam is deeply strange, not to mention unmentionable, and often have subject lines that are marvels to behold, many times with weird and tortured spellings designed to evade spam filters. The porn subject lines are the most vivid, not to mention so crude that they're sometimes funny. (though too raunchy for the delicate sensibilities of my genteel readers.)

They seem to fall mostly into the categories of: porn; "phishing" attempts designed to look as if they're from banks, Paypal, or eBay attempting to trick people into revealing personal or financial information; online "prescription" drugs; fake watches (though that's died down); "returned mail" messages; "hot" stocks; and home mortgage schemes.

Lord knows I'm as barve as the next guy, and I admit it's been a while since I've enjoyed a refreshing springe, but I'm afraid I have a busy schedule and can't afford to slow down with pleasure, (or without, for that matter) tomorrow, let alone seek fill up images.

And for some reason which I suspect has to do with getting these spam messages past screening devices, they often contain blocks of random text which in themselves make about as much sense as a few of my least favorite commenters.

WOO HOO HOO HOO!! My days on this site are definitely a thing of the past!! Enough of all this talk of spam and bogus e-mails! So long suckers!
